Since no one else has mentioned it: Shin Godzilla. While I'm happy to watch some goofy movie about giant monsters punching each other as well, this movie brings Godzilla to his roots as an allegory for disasters. The movie was apparently influenced by the 2011 earthquake/tsunami and Fukushima nuclear accident as well as the classic Hiroshima/Nagasaki reference that inspired the original Godzilla. To top it all off, it was directed by the creator of Evangelion.

Code Veronica is exactly the kind of game that needs to be remade. It has important lore for the whole series, but it suffers from being a bit too... of it's era

Metroid Prime. I only played it for the first time this year when the remaster came out and the music blew me away.

I wonder if Japanese companies not liking modding is somehow a cultural thing. I remember littlekuriboh, the guy who does the Yu-Gi-Oh abridged, mentioning that the actual Japanese creators of the show wanted nothing to do with him and his content when he met them at a con. While non-japanese people see editing official content as form of investment and passion (even if it's a joke), the japanese mindset is that you get what you get and messing with it is disrespectful.

I've watched a streamer play this a few times throughout its development and it looks amazing. If anyone is familiar with board games like Betrayal on the House on the Hill and Arkham Horror, this is sort of a video game version of those with a Junjo Ito flair

An upright bass, because they are such a vibe.

Classics are a bit hard on my ADHD but I love to read a good Stephen King, Dean Koontz, or Gillain Flynn thriller/horror in October. I've even found some decently spooky YA for when I need a really easy read. This year, I'm on the hunt for some kind of sci-fi horror. I find that googling subgenres is a great way to find recommendations because people tend to be more passionate about a smaller niche

The first time I learned to play Nine Men's Morris was at a handmade board game stall at a renaissance festival. I remember the owner/worker telling me the game could be traced back to ancient Rome, and being surprised at how fun it was.

I was playing a Link to the Past for the first time but I lost a lot of progress by forgetting to save including a whole dungeon and the ocarina mini-quest :( I want to keep going but it'll be hard to get me motivated to redo a bunch of stuff. I enjoy the game but it can be tedious just due to its age

Fun fact! This is a terrible way to hold a snapping turtle. Their necks are quite long and can reach behind their front legs. If you ever do have to hold a turtle, hold them as far back as possible and pray you can keep it balanced.

Personally, I feel like low empathy is a sign of low intelligence ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Emotions control so much of human behaviour so if you can't understand yours or others you won't be able to solve any problems with a human element.

Ah my bad! I got confused with physical releases 😅
